Tracking your job applications efficiently is essential for staying on top of your job search. At Careerflow.ai, we know that everyone follows a different path—and sometimes, the default statuses just don’t cover everything. That’s why we’re excited to introduce a new feature: custom columns on your Job Tracker.
By default, your tracker includes five statuses:
Saved, Applied, Interviewing, Offer, and Rejected.
With the latest update, you now have the flexibility to add up to 5 custom columns to better suit your personal workflow—whether you're waiting for feedback, following up, or in a negotiation stage.
Getting Started
Step 1: Go to the Job Tracker
From your Careerflow.ai dashboard, navigate to the Job Tracker section. This is where all your saved and applied jobs are listed along with their current status.
Step 2: Click on the 3-dot Menu Icon
In the upper-right corner of the Job Tracker, click on the three vertical dots (⋮). This will open a dropdown menu with additional options.
Step 3: Choose the “Add Column” Option
From the dropdown menu, select “Add Column.” This will open a prompt allowing you to name your new column.
Step 4: Type in the Status You Want to Add
Enter a name for your custom status—for example:
Networking
Assessment Completed
Awaiting Response
Negotiating Offer
Make sure the label clearly reflects the stage or action you want to track.
Step 5: Reorder Your Columns (Optional)
After adding the new column, you can click and drag columns to rearrange them. This helps keep your most-used statuses front and center.
Step 6: Click Save
Once you’re happy with your new column and its position, click “Save” to confirm the changes.
Step 7: All Set!
Your custom column will now appear on your Job Tracker, and you can begin moving jobs into that status as needed.
Things to Keep in Mind
You can add up to 5 custom columns in addition to the default ones.
You can edit or delete custom columns at any time via the same 3-dot menu.
💡 Your job search journey is unique—and your Job Tracker should reflect that. With the ability to add and customize columns, you now have more control and flexibility in organizing your job applications the way that works best for you.
